god damn i genuinely fell in love with that electro harmonix pedal dude, shit gives me foofighter vibes for no reason and i love it dude
It would be cool to hear your "clean" amp sound prior to the pedals so we get a better base. I personally hated the Soul Food after I watched your video. I think it's because your amp is probably dirtier than mine to begin with. I just felt like it didn't really give me enough break up. I'm really interested in that Plumes pedal as I feel the TS's compress the hell out of everything. LOL.
I just started taking guitar seriously a couple years ago at 42. I knew nothing about distortion or any other pedals. Soul Food was my first ever because it was cheaper than the tumnus. I hated it at first. I just didn't get it right away. It drove me to do more research and i went and got the giant big muff reissue as #2. That fuzz was what i really wanted. Then i learned to put the two together and then i finally understood. Maybe it's because they're both Elecrtoharmonic that they go together like fish and chips. I eventually taught myself how to tune it in to do it's thing but Now i have a Santa Ana overdrive that sounds incredible by itself and Blows the soul food away with power and tone sculpting options up the wazoo. But nothing kicks off the Big Muff like that Soul Food. Now i have a board with over a dozen pedals with separate dry and wet loops. I've learned so much about the deeper aspects of electric guitar like 'You are not just playing the guitar; you are playing the amplifier also'. And it all started with noob challenging, Soul Food!
Great advice on the Plumes! I've just got my hands on one, having this video in mind, and it's never coming off my board again! It was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! :D
What was that riff you played when you were showing the soul food? That was dope af
👏👏👏 all the way to the favourite rocket scientist in music. Honestly, I've played the video three times already - so harmonious the whole thing looks and sounds; this comes from a user experience tester (I'm not always nice 😃)
I have both the Soul Food and the Plumes on my board. Then I got a used Source Audio Programmable EQ (v1). Put that right after my Plumes. Game. Changer. Now I have the Plumes, Tubescreamer (with more mids than the Plumes alone), Klon, Bluesbreaker, and a OCD. I'm seriously considering selling my Soul Food...
Hey loved what you were playing what tuning are you in? Thanks!
I love stacking the plumes and the soul food to get my distortion sound
I have a Soul Food and it is a great pedal.
Jon's sending my Dead Blow next week, can't wait to get my hands on it
I've tried a real Klon once, and while it sounded great, I was terrified of damaging it and frankly I was so starstruck by even seeing one that I still can't compare it to other clones of it. Anyway, I've got a Soul Food in my board right now and I love it. Btw, I'd love to hear your opinion on smaller amp combos with one speaker. I'm slowly beginning to accept that my days of playing Marshall halfstacks are starting to be over. I know of all the options to smaller combos there are, but you are someone whose opinion I respect, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Great video as ever, keep them coming! Don't know if you've heard or played the EHX Hot Wax? It's a great sounding, great value 2-in1 drive pedal. One side the EHX Hot Tubes pedal, the other the EHX Crayon. Both are excellant pedals in their own right, but combined they stack well too. Got mine second hand for about £65 I think, bargain!
The plumes sounds great on bass on mode 3 too!
mine is bad monkey from light overdrive to fuzzy distortion, sounds nice with reverb, kinda like plumes also
What's your band called?
I still want that lamp
